Method
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering, then fry the noodles undisturbed for 2 minutes to blister the underside.
Toss the noodles and fry for a further 2 minutes until lightly charred in patches, then divide between four plates.
Wipe out the wok, heat the remaining oil, and fry the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock, oyster sauce, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and bring to a simmer.
Add the Chinese broccoli stems and simmer for 2 minutes until just tender.
Stir in the tapioca starch slurry and white pepper, and simmer for 1 minute until the gravy thickens.
Add the prawns and squid and poach gently for 3 minutes until the prawns turn pink and opaque.
Check the thickest prawn reads 63°C on a meat thermometer, then add the Chinese broccoli leaves and stir through for 30 seconds until wilted.
Ladle the seafood, gravy and greens over the plated noodles and serve immediately.
